Product Description

The Smart Way to Integrate Fluorescence Detection

Designed for OEMs and system developers, the FluoSens Integrated enables real-time fluorescence measurements on surfaces or in liquids, without contact and even under ambient light. Its confocal optics deliver precise excitation and emission separation, ensuring accurate results even in low-concentration samples.

Thanks to its compact design, it fits seamlessly into portable systems or inline quality control workflows. Calibration and correction data are stored directly on the device and accessible via a simple serial interface (RS232/RS485), supporting plug & play system integration.

The easiest way to develop small and mobile fluorescence detection systems

Our unique fluorescence detector is the perfect solution for integration in compact and mobile fluorescence detection systems or for online measurements in automated processes.
